Does SATAII controllers support SATA drives?

[phlashphire]

Anyone have any experience with this?

I believe they are backwards compatible.

My MB is supposed to support SATA II, and I don't recall seeing any differences in the connectors.

I'm using a SATA I Drive now because I haven't really seen a SATA II that impresses me that much yet.

Yes.

Thanks for the replies. Just reading the long Asrock thread, someone else has done that as well, although I think he's having some issues w/ his drive showing up as a removable drive when plugged into SATAII.

Yeah, I wouldn't use the SATA-II port unless I had a SATA-II drive.

The JMicron SATAII controller shouldn't have any problems supporting SATA. I'm considering using it with my Seagate Barracuda 7200.8 ST3250823AS to take advantage of the NCQ feature.

Anybody got a floppy image for the SATA RAID drivers?

It is not an issue.. SATA controller allow hot swappoing of SATA HDD.. nvidia controller do just that too..

Why it always has to be an issue ....?
